Tupac was a thug and a racist.

He was however a gifted poet in his own way and an interesting musician; but he lived by the sword, you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Maybe he stirred something in disaffected youth, like lennon marley and hendrix before him, i dont know.

Makes you wonder i guess.

I dont think he was a particulary good role model for poverty stricken disaffected black and white youth, but what do i know.
